FSU to host talk with noted Spanglish scholar

FRAMINGHAM - Framingham State University hosts "Spanglish: A Conversation with Ilan Stavans" at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 9.

Stavans is the foremost scholar on Latino Literature in the United States today. He recently edited the "Norton Anthology of Latino Literature" (2010) and is perhaps one of the most prolific scholars in the field. His work also extends beyond the university, where his highly influential PBS show "Conversations with Ilan" and his recently published cartoons of Latino history are at the forefront of a cultural sea change.

Held in the Helen Heineman Ecumenical and Cultural Center at FSU, there will be a Q and A where with the opportunity to explore his controversial work with Spanglish and his recent must-read meditations on “Love,” travel, and Latino visual art.
